The practice of sports is and has been the cause of numerous injuries in various studies. The evidence that costs amounted to AUD 265 million over a seven-year study in young people and adults. Particularly notable is the substantial impact on professional sport, where losses over two seasons of the English football league have been estimated at GBP 74.7 million. The impact on the well-being and health of the people affected is even more notable in light of the fact that injury may make it impossible to engage in the activity itself or, for professional athletes, causes missed training sessions and competitions.
